    Why I Walk the Bellin Run: Jamie Noriega Alqui, Green Bay

    This year is my first year walking in the Bellin Run and I am so excited! About 15 years ago I began to experience health issues and ended up having surgeries that limited what I could do. I even had to have my husband regularly help me up from my chair and eventually I had to stop working. Being only…

    Why I Run the Bellin Run: Evie Dumas, Pulaski

    My first Bellin Run was in 2010. I was overweight and just wanted to get into shape and be healthier. I started training for the Bellin.

    I ran my first Bellin in 1979 at the age of 29. I am now 63 and preparing to run my 31st Bellin. I did accomplish my goal of running 25 Bellin Runs consecutively.   One of my proudest memories was in 1997 when I placed 2nd in my age group with a time of 48:29. I didn’t realize I had placed…
